This week we have an interesting interview by Grant Giles with Shawn Smith, athlete manager and chief editor at Triathlon news website www.trizone.com.au.In this podcast Shawn speaks openly about athlete management and shares the benefit of his experience. We speak to the do's and dont's of building and maintaining athlete/sponsor relationships, and the importance of an effective coherent support team.We also cover some ground from each stakeholders perspective, and the importance of gluing the whole thing together, so it becomes an add for all concerned, rather than a drain. Shawn shares his advice for budding athletes and their support network, and we speak to the power of patience and resisting the temptation to bite off more than you can chew. Many athletes rush the brass ring. There is often this propensity toward "making hay while the sun shines". We speak not only of the damage that this limited thinking can do to an athletic career, but also how that thinking and action can stunt your growth as an athlete. A stable financial career requires stability of mind and action, with a long haul overview being the path to longevity as an athlete. Often the crush to make the bucks leads an athlete to a feast or famine mentality, that can mentally cloud an athletes path. This mindset often leads to rash decisions in the spur of the moment that make their development patterns messy and unsustainable.Obviously an anxiety around the length of ones career leads to a perception of lack, however that perception is the same perception that rides an athletes back at races and makes it difficult for them to focus. Pressure wears many masks!Shawn pulls the thing apart for you so you can get a bird's eye view into the blurry world of keeping everyone happy including yourself.If you are an athlete, a coach, a supporter or part of an athletes family or support network, this one is aimed at you. If you simply love the nature of sport, here is a view you don't often get to see from the sidelines.Grants Website-https://www.inconvenientminds.com.au/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/GrantGiles)

Grant Giles is obsessed with understanding what happens between an athlete’s ears. Grant has 25+ years of experience in triathlons, starting with a 14 year career as an elite athlete. He then turned to coaching and ultimately developed some of Australia’s most successful professional triathletes. These life experiences - together with his own struggles with anxiety - led him to become obsessed with understanding what happens between an athlete’s ears. These days, Grant runs Sports Supports, a business that closes the gap between psychology and sport by providing mind-body coaching to athletes. The core of his philosophy is to develop ‘awakened athletes’ which he describes in his conversation as ‘somebody who is aware that they are more than the content of their thinking and can stand apart from their thinking and can actually enquire into it; ask questions of it, analyse it, or drop it all together.’ Grant’s approach can, I think, be summarised by: “don’t believe everything you think”.

Once again I have my buddy and phenomenal coach Grant Giles on the podcast. I love Grant's writing and musing that is developed not through theory (sure he's spent the time reading, being open and learning) but mostly through his only personal journey into this mental world. What's first is uncomfortable then opens space and quietens the noise. We are only just scratching the surface to what the mind can do for us. Enjoy. IN TODAYS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS: The illusions of Fear Judgment and how we are not our thoughts Acceptance & non-resistance Energy Being a victim Creating mind space Mental toughness Thought traps, spirals of negativity and how to stop it Responsibility Getting rid of the mind suffering and anxiety we place on ourselves And so much more that leads us to perform better Listen & Subscribe on iTunes | Stitcher Radio SHOW LINKS: Sports Supports Facebook Instagram Grant's Athletes Apathy Mind Series Workshops- Melb 19th May 18- http://www.sportssupports.com.au/melbourne-workshop/ Gold Coast 16th June 18- http://www.sportssupports.com.au/gold-coast-workshop/ Sydney 14th July 18- http://www.sportssupports.com.au/sydney-workshop/ Join (for Free) our TRISPECIFIC CAFE https://www.facebook.com/TriSpecific http://www.instagram.com/trispecific SHOW SPONSORS: We have a number of options here at TS from the new Ironman and 70.3 Blueprints for those that just want a kick-ass plan and all the needed content to plug and play.

I've known Grant through mutual friends for a quite a while. He is a Triathlon coach and to me, he is one of the best coaches that teaches and coaches a lot base on Mindset, Intuitiveness, and Beliefs. In the podcast, we talked about a lot of different topics from How to Change your Structured Beliefs, the methods and the questions that he asks his athletes in order to get them to change their beliefs. We also tackled overplanning races and how many people are too guarded and protective with the races that they do and following that plan to a tee can sometimes work against them as opposed for them. We talked about mindfulness and how you are better off focusing on the process in order to get in to flow.
